Author of the Month

Laura Berg Helps Babies Speak with their Hands

Laura Berg is a school teacher, certified Baby Sign Language instructor, and university guest lecturer from Toronto, Ontario. She is also the founder of MySmartHands.com.

"Most people don't realize that babies can communicate long before they can speak. I find it very rewarding to be able to offer parents this unique tool. It reduces babies frustration and allows mothers to 'talk' with their children long before their child is able to utter a single word."

Laura has also been an ardent MindBites Author since May 2007 and now people around the world can learn from her “SmartHands.”
